I Was the Heroine, and in the Sequel, Even Though I’m a Mob, All of My Stats Are Maxed Out - CH 14.2

I couldn’t hide my confusion when I was told so clearly, and a dumb voice escaped from my mouth. This was the first time I have heard such a thing.

It was true that we spent a lot of time together at the end, and I thought he had opened up to me, even though he was colder than anyone else at first, but wasn’t that an exaggeration?

Still, it didn’t look like Theo was joking. He seemed concerned and somewhat sad.

“Well, anyway, I’ll tell Alvin about this. I don’t like it when people say bad things about Nina. If Owen and the others take care of it, those rumors will disappear soon.”

“I’ll spread the word that Nina-sama is a wonderful person so that there will be no more bad rumors! I’ve heard a lot of stories about Nina-sama from everyone!”

“Yeah. Nina is a good person.”

Although I didn’t really understand it, I was deeply relieved to learn that the imprisonment was a misunderstanding.

Their words also warmed my heart. Even if I did get found, it seemed that I would still be able to keep the relationship I have had with everyone.

However, it was better not to be found. The current situation with Erica-san was too dangerous even if things proceeded according to the scenario.

If she didn’t learn holy magic as soon as possible, it would affect my slow life in the future.

“Heh, so the former saintess’ name is Nina.”

“Didn’t you know?”

“I didn’t know. I came to this country a year and a half ago.”

After asking Theo, Bruno looked at me with a meaningful smile.

Anyway, I decided to take a break from making potions for a while. Until things cooled down, I would concentrate on making magical tools, and if Owen didn’t find out, I would continue making them little by little. It was an important source of income.

Of course, it was after I plead with Erica-san to pretend not to notice if she saw any silver magic in the future. If Owen found out about it, I would honestly explain the situation and asked him to keep quiet. I had a feeling he would understand if I talked to him.

“Well then, I’d better be on my way. I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

“Take care.”

“Let’s have a nice chat tomorrow.”

Bruno finished his tea and left with a wave of his hand.

“Are you on good terms with that guy?”

“Yeah. We’re friends.”

Now that I had heard the story just now, I couldn’t say that he was a merchant and the person who sold the potions.

I was rather surprised that Theo and Erica-san didn’t think that I created the potions. I didn’t expect the two of them to come today, so there were large pots and medicinal herbs out in plain view everywhere.

Incidentally, I had asked the two of them to keep my existence and the matter of me teaching Erica-san magic an absolute secret.

“Let’s practice in the woods so people won’t see us.”

“Yes! Please take care of me!”

After that, when I went to teach Erica-san magic, I realized that it was going to be a longer and more difficult road than I had imagined.

It was 10,000 times worse than I thought. With one practice per week, I didn’t think she would make it in time to defeat the Evil Dragon five months later.

─And one week after the two returned to the royal capital, the “14th Saintess Statue” that honored the former saintess suddenly appeared in each major city, and I was even more confused.
